Getting Started with Stock

Logging In

While you can apply images with a watermark, you can also log into your iStock and Getty Images accounts to buy and access your content for a finished look. If you do not yet have an iStock or Getty Images account, click join at the bottom of each panel.

Once logged in, your email address will appear at the bottom of the panel to confirm the account you’re using.

Searching iStock and Getty Images

Within Craft Stock are two separate image tabs for iStock and Getty Images. Click either tab to enter the preferred image library.

iStock contains four categories to search within:

All - all iStock images

Essentials - everyday content you need from iStock

Signature - over 6 million of the very best stock and all premium Vetta™ Collection files

My Content - all purchased images

Getty Images contains four categories to search within:

All - all Getty images

Creative - creative commons licensed images

Editorial - a licensed image or video to report or illustrate events that are newsworthy or of general interest

Adding an Image to your Design

Click into the Stock search box. Type a keyword and locate the image you’d like to add to your design by scrolling. Click and drag to resize the Stock panel by hovering over the bottom border until an arrow appears.

In the layers panel, choose the layer in which you'd like the image or click the layer on the canvas.

Click the image you’d like inserted into the layer. The image appears in the layer with a mask applied. The image appears as a background, so as you manipulate the image, it remains in high resolution.
